Energy efficient appliances and systems, a tight high performing envelope, water efficient fixtures, recycled and renewable materials all round out the sustainability strategy.

Levy and Stott spent 6 years working in prefab design and building with Marmol Radziner, and realized that there were a lot of problems in the industry. So they set out to fix those problems by starting their own company with a strategy that more efficiently builds homes in the factory setting and bringing down the cost of shipping with smaller modules. Connect:Homes is an LA-based prefab company based on a patent pending modular system that cuts delivery costs by close to 90%. The goal was to develop a home that could be shipped anywhere with normal truck transport without breaking the bank, and based on the renderings, we think they might be on to something.

Connect:Homes offers up a range of 1-4 bedroom homes with a decidedly modern style. Customize the exterior and interior with a metal, steel, wood and different finishes. Every home is designed to meet LEED Platinum status as well as CalGreen Tier 2 standards and owners can opt to make the home net zero as well. Energy efficient appliances and systems, a tight high performing envelope, water efficient fixtures, recycled and renewable materials all round out the sustainability strategy.

Bring your prefab, designer and ideas to the Timber House Eco-Cottage Resort. The Resort is a country inn surrounded by eco-cottages with four-star hotel amenities and services.
The resort concept is a cottage-hotel hybrid emphasizing modern architecture and sustainability principles. Cottage owners work with the architect of their choice to create their eco-cottage. The resort is being created by re-purposing and adapting an existing Country Inn and an adjacent trailer park. It is being developed through a creative collaboration and business partnership with the existing trailer owners. The process bends traditional land-use genres of trailer parks, hotels and cottaging to make them exciting to creative people who are passionate about design and concerned about environmental choices.
